Research
I have been working in microbiology on the detection of biological contaminants in the environment in water, air and dust; I am involved in the instigation of methods for detecting these contaminants using culture, biochemical or molecular biology techniques. These methods are then used in research projects:
- Detection and quantification of allergens from mites, cats and dogs in dust, using ELISA: Asthma and Child Campaign, OQAI (Observatory for the quality of internal air) campaign, school, CEI Study (Study of the evaluation of cost-efficiency of the work down by internal environment advisers at home for asthmatic patients)
- Detection of moulds and bacteria in internal air by PCR: CEI Study , QAIHOSP (Quality of internal air in hospitals)
